I've held on to this long enough; here it goes: I thought Hogan vs. Bundy at Wrestlemania II was absolutely epics when I was a kid because A) It was the first cage match I'd ever seen and B) Though I'd heard tell of such an occurrence, I'd never actually witnessed a man bleeding in a wrestling match before. I look back now and see a tiny scratch, but to me at the time, Bundy was the Muta scale before there ever was such a thing.

Another good one is the Main Event match where Tito Santana was wrestling The Red Rooster and Heenan was mic'd so that you could hear him berating Taylor throughout the the match. When the Rooster finally snapped and turned on The Brain at the end of the match, I became a total mark for him...so there was at least one of us out there.I am sharing some stuff today.

I'm going to go with two from 1997 (even though I wasn't the typical "mark" anymore):-Owen vs Pillman from the MSG Raw in September. The comedic first part, followed by some fast-paced aggression, made for a very cool match. Too bad it's cut short. Pillman's body was screwed at that point, and it was a shame he didn't have enough good people (like Owen) to carry him while in the ring. But I LOVE this match and it reminds me of the many things I appreciated about those two guys.

-Shamrock vs Vader from Cold Day in Hell. Your mileage may vary, but to me, it was a classic. It was the perfect melding of MMA and pro wrestling at the time. Vader probably is not as enthusiastic about this match as I am, but oh well. It had freak show appeal at first--very few of us had any idea if Shamrock would be able to do anything worthwhile in the ring, but we were quickly proven wrong.

Tatanka vs. Ludvig Borga when Tatanka's undefeated streak ended. Surprisingly good match considering the participants. It was hyped as such a big deal and a devastating loss, and on top of that, it's a super-sized post-match beatdown that also removes him from the Survivor Series Main Event. When it rains, it pours.

That Steiner/Rotundo match was a great match. In fact a lot of the TV titles were.My favorite was the Mulkey Brothers (the jobbiest jobbers that ever jobbed) beating the Gladiators to qualify for the Crockett Cup.
